How do u support the emotional security of children under 3?

Question

stuck on a coursework question!

Answer 1

google mary ainsworth, she did a experiment on childrens emotional attachments to parents in infanthood and how they affected us in later life, this might give you some idea on what children need to have secure emotional development.

Answer 2

i would suggest as a parent that the best way is to give a stable loving home,teach the benefits of right and wrong,cause and effect. Emotional stability comes from feeling safe and in most cases by routine,learning how to behave appropriatly and politely..children under 3 understand alot more than they are credited for and they only learn from their peers.If they feel safe,loved,are understood and happy i would imagine that yes emotionally they would feel safe.

Answer 3

READ YOUR TEXTBOOK if you don't find answers there use a Yahoo or Google search.

I would speak English, or some language to encourage development, not talking like u r texting some 1, y?

You sound young, maybe developing your own skills is not such a bad thing, yes?

Answer 5

Give them unconditional love and the security of routines.

Answer 6

Give them a lollypop.  

Seriously?  Talk to them like they're a person, treat them likewise and always maintain a positive tone you're speaking with them.

Answer 7

Probably of utmost important is consistency.  At this age routines are paramount to their sense of security.

Answer 8

Hi!

There are several ways that you can promote the emotional security of the under 3's

continuity of care is always important so it is important to have a "routine" where the children understand what is expected of them and clear boundaries in order that they know what is acceptable/unacceptable. If you are discussing a nursery or other setting you would consider how you would maintain continuity with parents eg discuss their routines/rules at home an dincorpoarte that into your nursery day, etc.

Speak to the children as children they are not adults and need a lot ,or attention and love; so make sure that you speak to them at their level and in a calm voice, this helps their emotional security as they know that they can predict how you will speak to them/deal with their behaviour.

Spend time with the children 1-on-1 if possible whether that's having a hug on the sofa after they have woken up, chatting to them when they are paintng, eating etc, or playing with them whilst they are involved in an activity - emotional security is also based on the idea that you don't have to be constantly involvd in what they are doing as they are aware you're nearby and they will learn to play on their own.

Praise children when they have done something well, congratlate them on a pretty picture or for saying thank you, give them a clap and a cheer when they share a toy or give them a hug and a kiss to show them that you're happy with them.

Make sure that you are available for children to play with or cuddle or involve yourself in what they are doing, who wants to bother with an adulkt who doesn't want to bother with you???

They should be raised by people who love them in a secure environment.

Books by the author above would be worth reading.
